The hotel was lovely but our room was right next to the main road and it got busy first thing in the morning

Quite nice historical hotel with a good management and staff😊

It was a close walk to the center of colchester, and it was a beutiful hotell with a charming bar

Its a bit from the town. About 20 walk. The hotel has no restaurant so you have to go to town. Other than that hotel is nice

Lovely rooms & very picturesque, but no air conditioning in the rooms.

Friendly staff, quick and easy check-in, room very clean & well looked after. Thank you

Love this type of oldies!

I enjoyed my stay at the Rose And Crown, I couldn’t fault my room, it was very clean, the bed was comfortable and it had all the usual amenities you would expect. The hotel is historically old and has a quaint character about it, so don’t expect it to be spotlessly clean like the modern, characterless hotels. I would recommend the Rose And Crown to anyone

Lovely staff and clean and tidy rooms

Very disappointing, far too much money for a room that is clearly not executive, tiny, shower freezing, not worth the money , no parking despite saying it’s included, stay away from this hotel

There was no evening food available. Breakfast the next morning was £15 and very poor. Staff were courteous but slow.

The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Could do with a revamp decor needs updating windows did not open window and frame was very dirty blind did not work not very good value for the money regards alan neal

Stopped over on my way back to London after a long day. I had to check in very late [1am], but it wasn't an issue at all. Very friendly staff. Room as expected.

Hotel was clean,staff were friendly but the only food available was breakfast which meant after a 5 hour journey my partner and i had to go and find somewhere to eat . The bar is also only open for a limited time and there's no room service so although a very nice place to stay it does seem like an expensive bed and breakfast

Excellent stay, was given upgraded room, staff were excellent, very good breakfast, would definitely return

Great hotel on the edge of town. We parked mid day with no problem and the desk is 24 hours so we left everything in the car and checked in just before midnight with no issue. They'd warned us that there was an event on that night but there was no noise or disruption that we could tell. The bed was the biggest I've seen - very comfortable. The shower was great - good pressure and temperature. The only slight negative was the really creaky floor - but that was probably worse for who ever was underneath us.

Good stay

Staff Very helpful , breakfast brilliant, hope to book again

The o e and only elevator was pout of service, it contained soiled bedding lr similar. Not ver good to lug two suitcases up two fligjts of stairs. There is no restaurant at the hotel, but a buffet breakfast is availble in the morning.

The room was clean and the service was excellent. The location was walking distance from Colchester castle with many close ameraties. Extreem value for money and has parking.

The exterior of the building is just lovely, unfortunately the room wasn’t. What is the main thing you want to do in a hotel room? Sleep. That’s simply impossible in room 130. Gawd knows why hotels with perfectly good sized rooms put in the smallest sized bed possible. I sometimes wonder if they just hate their customers. But this wasn’t the main issue, we can sleep in a small double bed but not this one. Ever seen The Exorcist? Well the bed in room 130 groans and moans and goes through to your very soul. Any slightest movement and we were in the film, it needs to be dumped or exorcised. The hotel staff either can’t be bothered to test the bed or simply like their guests to suffer. Needless to say, we barely slept. The pillows were uncomfortable. The bathroom: brown water stains on the door, chipped panels and a badly frosted window facing the carpark. The frosting didn’t meet the window frame, there were clear glass areas. Would you trust that people couldn’t see your shape through the glass, as it was right by the shower? Given the state of the bed, I didn’t, so I tried to hang a cardigan at the window. It needs a blind, otherwise it’s just plain creepy. No mirror in the room so I had to stand in the wardrobe to dry my hair, only the door would not open fully because it was badly fitted. Outside our room in the car park are benches, clearly audible hacking cough (poor person!) in our room early morning, maybe move the benches away from rooms so guests don’t hear th

A fun building dating at one end around 1600 and the other 2016. The Tudor bits are wobbly and pokey as you would expect. The modern bits, modern. Helpful staff and a kitchen that poached eggs nicely for breakfast. For a budget option, this is a good stay.

Extremely disappointing stay, nothing like the pictures. Asked for a better room and it was no better. Only the fact that we had already paid with little chance of a refund made us stay. Dirty carpets, broken tiles, needs a complete renewal. Breakfast was good and staff were attentive.

Comfortable, good service, onsite parking, good breakfast.

kinda far away from town center

Beautiful old hotel love the history. Regrettably the mattress & pillows were so uncomfortable we did not sleep at all well. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was very good.

The hotel was amazing, such a beautiful old building, my room was very basic and the bed was far to hard, I really had very little sleep because it was too hard for me with a bad back, the room was very hot even when using the fan provided, this I think was due to the heated towel rail in the bathroom that I was unable to adjust, but otherwise a lovely hotel and staff

Noisy no dining facilities

Lovely old place. Staff was lovely.

The staff were really friendly and the hotel was clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and newly fitted. The breakfast was really good too. An easy walk into Colchester town centre made it an ideal location.

fabulous hotel in the perfect spot to get to town by foot or on the local bus.....loved the history of the building and the comfortable beds staff were lovey and helpful would have been good to be able to get food at the hotel in the evenings
